Solution
The correct option is B32.0g 1 mole of a gas at STP occupies a volume of 22.4 L. The density of the gas at STP is 1.43 g/L. The mass of 22.4 L of gas is 1.43g/L×22.4=32.0g. Mass of 1 mole of the gas is equal to the gram-molecular mass of the gas. Hence, gram-molecular mass of the gas is 32.0 g.
